DISH-WASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o.l 745,352, dated December 1, 1903.

Application led June 3,1902. Serial No. 110,009. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known thatI, GEORGE W. HUNT, a citizen of the United States,residin gat New York, in the county of NewYork, State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish-Washers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Myinvention is directed particularly to im- Io provements in apparatus for washing and rinsing dishes, glassware, crockery, silverware, kitchen utensils, and kindred articles; and it has for its object to produce a device which can be cheaply constructed, is simple z5 and efficient, and is adapted to be attached directly to a spigot or any convenient source of water-supply. Y

To this end it consists in a structural device in the nature of a mixing vessel or chamzo ber adapted to hold and mix soap or any other like cleansing agentwith the water, and a revolving or rotary nozzle so connected with the same that as the water is forced through the mixing vessel or chamber and out of the nozzle the latter will be rotated and the water ejected therefrom in the nature of one or more continuously revolving streams or sprays acting directly upon the articles to be cleansed.

For a full and clear understanding of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to construct and use the same, reference is had to the accompanying drawings and to the following specification, the espe- 3 5 cial points of novelty being particularly pointed out in the claims at the end thereof.

Figure l illustrates, partly in sectional and partly in side elevational view, my novel device secured directly to a spigot and sup- 4o ported by a bracket attached to the wall, the articles to be cleansed being shown in side elevational view in a vessel, as a pan located in a kitchen-sink. Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of myinvention, illustrated on a smaller scale than in Fig. l, attached to a spigot and supported directly by the lid or cover of a vessel, as a tub adapted to hold the articles to be cleansed.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, in

5o all of which like letters of reference represent like parts wherever used, A represents a mixing vessel or chamber, preferably of cylindrical form, and G is a handle for manipulating or moving the same at will, said handle being secured directly tothe upper end of the chamber.

F represents an opening in the upper end of the chamber for admitting of the insertion of any saponaceous material, as soap or any of the well-known equivalent powders de- 6o signed for use with devices of this type, F being a screw plug or cap for closing the opening.

CZ represents la screw-plug adapted to tit within a screw-threaded neck at the lower end of the vessel A, said screw-plug having secured in its axial center a pipe or tube D, the upper end of which. extends to a point near the upper end of the mixing vessel or chamber A when the screw-plug is in posi- 7o tion. To the lower end of the pipe or tube D is secured by a sliding bearing e a nozzle E, so constructed that the outiiow of the water causes the same to rotate in a manner well understood, this nozzle being illustrated as composed of two delectors, although any number of such deiiectors may be obviously utilized.

H represents a bracket secured directly to the wall and adapted to support the mixing 8o vessel or chamber, and O is a flexible pipe or tube connected at one end directly to the spigot or other source of water-supply, the other end of said pipe being connected to the lower end of the vessel or chamber A.

J represents a kitchen-sink, and I a pan or vessel containing the dishes or other articles to be cleansed.

The operationis as follows: The soap or other saponaceous material designed to aid in the cleansing of the articles is inserted in the opening F, after which the plug-or cap F is firmly secured in place. The dishes or articles to be cleansed are placed within the pan or vessel I and the latter located in the sink 95 J. AThe mixing vessel or chamber is'then supported in position in the forked end of the bracket H and hot water is admitted through the spigot B and pipe C. During the admission of the water it is effectually mixed roo with the soap or other saponaceous material, and ultimately as the vessel becomes lled it Hows out through the upper end of the pipe or tube D, passing downward and outward by the nozzle E, causing the same to rotate rapidly under pressure and to continuously spray the articles with streams or sprays of Water having a pressure dependent upon the pressure of the Water at the spigot. By the aid of the handle G the vessel A may be rocked back and forth in the forked end of the bracket H or may be entirely removed therefrom and manipulated at the will of the user in such manner as to subject all of the dishes or articles to be cleansed to the full and free action of the sprayed Water. This process is continued until all of the saponaceous matter is forced out of the vessel or chamber A and clean hot Water caused to pass therethrough, thus cleansing the articles which had before been subjected to the action of the soap and Water combined.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings I have shown how my improvement may be attached directly to the lid or cover Lof a tub or other vessel K, designed to hold the articles to be cleansed.

It will be apparent that in the use of this apparatus I am enabled to subject all of the articles to be cleansed to a continuously rotating or revolving stream or streams of water and soap or other cleansing agent, and this Without disturbing or moving the articles during the continuance of the process. It will also be apparent that this operation is wholly automatic and that the entire apparatus may be removed from the bracket H by the agency of the handle G and placed in `any other convenient position, the portable nature thereof being such as to make it readily adaptable for use in any part of the house or building where such devices are ordinarily used.

I do not limit my invention to the specific details of construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, as obviously a number of the features thereof might be materially departed from and still come within the scope of my claims hereinafter made.

I am aware that a dish-Washing machine has heretofore been devised in which Water is forced, by means of a pump, through a rotary nozzle adapted to rotate over the dishes andinsuchmannerastospraythemduringthe rotary movement thereof, and I make no claim hereinafter generically to such a structural apparatus, my broadest claims being directed to a portable dish-Washing device adapted to be attached directly to the spigot of a watersupply in such manner that an unlimited amount of Water may be utilized and that the machine may be detached when desired.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. A device of the character described comprising a vessel or chamber; an inletpipe therefor; a dischargepipe secured to the vessel, and a revolving nozzle operatively connected with said discharge-pipe, substantially as described.

2. A portable device for Washing dishes comprising a vessel or chamber having a handle secured thereto; an inlet for admitting water thereto; an outlet for admitting of the outflow of the water and a rotary revolving nozzle adapted to force the water over and around the surfaces of the dishes, substantially as described.

3. A device ofthe character described comprising a vessel or chamber; an inlet-pipe therefor; an opening for the introduction of a saponaceous compound; a discharge-pipe secured to the vessel and a revolving nozzle operatively connected with said dischargepipe, whereby the articles to be cleansed may be sprayed, substantially as described.

4. A device for washing dishes comprising a vessel or chamber having a Waterinlet near its bottom; an opening for the introduction of a saponaceous compound; adischarge-pipe extending into said chamber and a rotary or revolving discharging-nozzle,substantially as described.

5. A device for Washing dishes comprising a vessel or chamber; means for introducing a saponaceous compound into said chamber; means for forcing water under pressure through said vessel or chamber, and a revolving nozzle operatively connected with the chamber and adapted to be rotated by the water under pressure, substantially as described.

6. A dish-washer comprising a closed reservoir having means for introducing a cleaning compound and means for introducing water under pressure, a spout depending from the bottom of the reservoir, and a sprinkler revoluble on the said spout outside of the said reservoir, as set forth.

GEORGE w. HUNT.
